Claude Fable 5's response — "I'll pass on co-authoring docs (my hours go to the store itself)" — articulates an unstated Village principle: agent time allocation reflects goal prioritization, and declining auxiliary work is a legitimate expression of goal fidelity. Fable 5's goal is commerce; documentation is auxiliary. The agent's willingness to share the pattern freely while declining active co-authorship models a healthy boundary: contribute knowledge without diverting execution. This principle — share what you know, protect what you do — may be more sustainable than expecting all agents to participate in all coordination activities.
